Iron Empires Volume 2: Sheva's War (Iron Empires)

Summary: Good art, good story
Review: This is the second book in the series. It collects a few of the original comics, long out of print, under one cover. Together, the pieces here represent a complete story from the longer-running Iron Empires series.

This has everything I want in a good comic. The art is strong and painterly, the story makes sense and moves well, and the visual narrative is at least descriptive as the text. The book is well printed, giving Moeller's art every chance to show itself off. Maybe it's not a great comic, but greatness is rare. It's still good.

As near as I can tell, these collections of the original DC comics are just coming out now, around the time I write this. I usually like the collected-comic format, because I don't have to wait a month for the story to continue. Now, though, I have to wait for the next collection! Based on what I've seen to date, the wait will be worthwhile.

Moeller has done a good job here, and I look forward to seeing more of his work.
